You are better at dying!

I have yet to mention Doctor Who in this thing. If you haven't seen Doctor Who, you should probably go die. Although then you will have died without seeing Doctor Who, which is problematic. It's the longest running science fiction show ever, which means it has a disgusting 740 episodes. Sadly, most Americans haven't heard of it, because it's a British show, but you can think of it as the British version of Star Trek, only way better. Fortunately, you don't need to watch all 740 episodes to catch up, because they stopped the show for a while and just started making episodes again in 2005, so they started out assuming people hadn't seen the previous episodes. So if you start with the "new" season 1 in 2005, you're only 3 seasons behind (we're just starting the 4th season now). So spring into Amazon action. It's probably my favorite show ever, it even gives MacGyver a run for its money.

This is my favorite clip of all the new episodes. It's when the Daleks and Cybermen (the two biggest bad guys in the series) first meet up, so you get to see both races, how they're really similar, but constantly insult each other; also, how the Daleks are way better, how badass the Daleks are in general, and how they're still scared of The Oncoming Storm. This also has probably my favorite line of all time in it (bolded in the transcript, or look at the post title):

(seriously though, the clip is so much better, go watch that)

Dalek Sec: "Dalek Thay, investigate outside"
Dalek Thay: "I obey"
Cyberleader: "Units: Open visual link. Visual contact established"
Dalek Sec: "Establish visual contact. Lower communications barrier"
Dalek Thay: "Identify yourselves!"
Cyberman: "You will identify first"
Dalek Thay: "State your identity!"
Cyberman: "You will identify first"
Dalek Thay: "Identify!"
Mickey: "It's like Stephen Hawking meets the speaking clock"
Cyberman: ". . . and illogical, you will modify"
Dalek Thay: "Daleks do not take orders!"
Cyberman: "You have identified as Daleks"
Dalek Sec: "Outline resembles the inferior species known as Cybermen"
Jackie: "Rose said about the Daleks . . . she was terrified of them. What've they done to her, Doctor, is she dead?"
Doctor: "Phone"
Jackie: "What?"
Doctor: "Phone!"
Doctor: Dialing
Dalek Sec: "Long-range scans confirm presence of crude cybernetic constructs on world-wide scale"
Rose: Phone ringing. Answers
Doctor: "She's answered, she's alive. Why haven't they killed her?"
Jackie: "Well don't complain!"
Doctor: "They must need her for something."
Dalek Jast (background): "We must protect the Genesis Ark!"
Doctor: "The Genesis Ark?"
Cyberman: "Our species are similar, though your design is inelegant"
Dalek Thay: "Daleks have no concept of elegance"
Cyberman: "This is obvious. But consider: our technologies are compatible. Cybermen plus Daleks. Together, we could upgrade the universe"
Dalek Thay: "You propose an alliance"
Cyberman: "This is correct"
Dalek Thay: "Request denied!"
Cyberman: "Hostile elements will be deleted"
Cybermen: Fire on Dalek Thay
Dalek Thay: "Exterminate!"
Dalek Thay: Fires on the Cybermen
Cyberleader: "Open visual link. Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen"
Dalek Sec: "This is not war; this is pest control!"
Cyberleader: "We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"
Dalek Sec: "Four"
Cyberleader: "You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
Dalek Sec: "We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek. You are superior in only one respect"
Cyberleader: "What is that?"
Dalek Sec: "You are better at dying."
Dalek Sec: "Raise communications barrier!"
Screen shuts off
Dalek Sec: "Wait!"
Doctor: (hangs up phone) "Lost her"
Dalek Jast: "Rewind image by 9 rels! Identify grid seven gamma flame! This male registers as enemy!"
Dalek Sec: "The females heartbeat has increased!"
Mickey: "Yeah, tell me about it"
Dalek Sec: "Identify him!"
Rose: "Alright then. If you really want to know. That's the Doctor"
Daleks back away
Rose: "Five million Cybermen, easy. One Doctor? Now you're scared"

Random side note: Blogger, wtf? I'm used to you sucking at general uptime (I had the usual "Unable to communicate with Blogger" every other auto-save), but you also fail at video uploads. I ended up canceling the "processing" screen after 4 hours and just uploading it to Youtube.
